In January 1980, the First Symposium on the Measurement of Tis sue
Oxygen Pressure in Patients was held in Frankfurt. After a 4-year
"rest period," the organizers of the 1984 symposium, Profes sor R.
Huch of Zurich and Dr. J. Hauss of Munster, together with myself,
extended another invitation to come to Frankfurt to find out what
had gone on in the field of oxygen pressure measurement and its
application in clinical medicine. As the following presentations
will show, the application of oxygen pressure measurements has been
broadened considerably. Furthermore, technological advances have
been made, particularly with the increased use of computers. For
various reasons, including technical ones, these methods have not
been adapted as widely as one would want. Although con gresses on
tissue oxygen pressure have been held in the last few years, the
clinical aspect of tissue P0 measurement has not been 2 dealt with
in such a concentrated and comprehensive way since 1980. It
therefore seemed necessary to hold such a symposium, not only for
scientific reasons, but also to enable a larger group of clini
cians to gain insight into the importance of the possibilities
these methods offer."
The i nterna ti ona 1 symposi a on transcutaneous monitori ng have
dea It with the interaction between ideas and research, the
introduction of unconventional techniques into clinical practice,
and the joint efforts of researchers, clinicians, and industry to
design and manufacture prac tical equipment for noninvasive
monitoring. The First International Symposium on Continuous
Transcutaneous Blood Gas Monitoring took place in Marburg, West
Germany, from May 31 to June 2, 1978. This was the first major
international meeting exclusively devoted to transcutaneous blood
gas monitoring, and it was attended by the scientists who had
developed this technique or had been \'Jorking with it, by a large
number of doctors, mainly neonatologists who had just begun to use
the technique or hoped to do so, and, finally, a rather large
number of representatives of industry. The second symposium, with
the same title, was held in Zurich, Switzerland, October 14-16,
1981. This time the focus was, to a large extent, on transcutaneous
PC0 monitori ng, for whi ch equipment had become 2 commercially
available only a short time before. Fetal monitoring was also
discussed at length, as was the use of the transcutaneous
techniques in other fields, such as vascular surgery and
experimental animal research. The third symposium, October 1-4,
1986, was again held in Zurich. It \'Jas entitled "Continuous
Transcutaneous Monitoring," indicating that not only blood gases
but also other parameters could be monitored trans cutaneous ly."
